These accounts include: Revenue accounts: These accounts track all the income generated from the farm, including sales of crops, livestock, and other farm products. This includes both cash sales and credit sales.Expense accounts: These accounts track all the expenses associated with running the farm, such as costs of seeds, fertilizers, fuel, labor, equipment, and other supplies. This also includes expenses related to maintaining and repairing assets such as buildings and equipment.Asset accounts: These accounts track all the assets owned by the farm, such as land, buildings, equipment, and livestock. Assets can be further categorized as current (short-term) or fixed (long-term) depending on their expected lifespan.Liability accounts: These accounts track all the debts and obligations of the farm, such as loans, accounts payable, and taxes owed. This also includes long-term liabilities such as mortgages and other debts with a maturity of over one year.Equity accounts: These accounts track the net worth of the farm, which is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities from the total assets. Equity accounts can include owner’s equity, retained earnings, and any additional paid-in capital.Cash accounts: These accounts track all the cash inflows and outflows of the farm, including cash sales and expenses paid in cash.
